    Nope, the greatest golfer of all time.  No question.   Give the guy a golf cart and at 47 he would get a few more majors with a bum leg and a bad back against the best fields ever.

    Well, I was wrong about Rahm dissppearing for the rest of the year.

    Nicklaus is the GOAT. It’s not really close

    He’s good.

    Homa is also good.

    Pieters is a good get for LIV but doesn’t really move things. He said it himself, 34th in the world and couldn’t get into Riviera. Which honestly, he should go in that case

    You can argue Nicklaus's 18 majors (and seconds) versus 15 for Tiger makes for the better career, but I think Tiger is the better golfer.  If Tiger hadn't sabotaged himself (in many ways) he would have the better career by far.  Tiger had no weaknesses.  I just don't think 18 majors vs. 15 majors should decide it when different eras and opponents are involved.   Does Jack win 18 in Tiger's era?  If you can't guarantee that then it shouldn't be the deciding factor.

    Sounds like the Lebron Jordan debate.  As far as I'm concerned, if you can debate the two, that's the ultimate compliment to both.  

    I'm a Jack guy and a Lebron guy, both being from Ohio.

    Hell of a weekend for golf. Was fun watching Tiger play 72 for the first time in forever. Leaderboard on Sunday was great. I was hoping Homa would pull it off, but I like Rahm too. 

    Also, the wife and I binged all of the Full Swing. Honestly, we both really enjoyed it. The first one with Jordan and JT was easily the worst. Koepka comes across as the douchiest prick ever. His wife is annoying too. I liked the Joel Dahmen episode. Dude is hilarious. The one with the rookies was good too. One bonus, at least for me, is the wife says she liked it so much she's looking forward to not asking me to turn the channel away from golf moving forward. So, the good guys came out ahead on this one. They never seem to lose. 

    And....I played for the first time today since my 76. Shot a 93. Fuck this game. lol

    That's a big range.  I played yesterday in VA.  Shot an 83 (40-43) in howling wind. Had to hood the irons unless the wind was directly behind you.  My game is stuck at 8.3, but the good news is that I control my misses very well.  I haven't had a triple in months and doubles are between 0-2 per round.  Unfortunately I usually have about 1.2 birdies per round.  So I am always 80-84.  That's predictable, but I have to get more precise on my approach shots.  Too often I'm chipping and making a 10 footer for par or tap in bogey.  Frustrating.  My course is an Arnie design, 6700, 71.4/137.  So it's not the easiest course in the world, but my GHIN travels well to other courses.

    I actually had 2 birds today and still wound up with a 93. Talk about inconsistent. Just didn't do nearly well enough around the greens. Between 3 putts and duffed chips, probably cost me about 7 strokes right there. And that's usually the best part of my game. 

    83's real sold round, especially in wind. Well done.

    About two years ago I completely reconstructed my chip, simplifying the motion.  Now it’s the strongest part of my game, rarely if ever duff and a good chip eliminates the three jack.  It definitely cut 4-5 strokes from the average.

    What a week for golf. Tiger!

    The Netflix show is what it is. These dudes aren’t all that interesting but at the same time, have you ever seen a professional athlete as vulnerable as brooks in episode 2? That’s as far as I’ve gotten and he seems super spoiled but idk, that’s as honest as I’ve see a professional athlete?

    Also, according to shipnuck, maybe not correct, brooks wants back to pga   




    Been watching the doc this past week. Has had some interesting parts but you can tell that once everyone left for LIV that they wanted it to be a PGA Tour fluff piece and cast the LIV guys in a negative light.
